Kendon is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin and it means “king’s hill”.
The name Kendon is of English origin and is a variant of the name Kenelm. Kenelm comes from the Old English name Cyneheahelm, which means “royal helmet.”
Kenelm was actually a saint in English history, known as Saint Kenelm, who was a young Anglo-Saxon prince in Mercia during the 9th century. Legend has it that he was murdered at a young age and later became a martyr. His shrine at Winchcombe Abbey became a place of pilgrimage in medieval times.
Kendon is a modern twist on this traditional name, combining the elements of Kenelm with the popular ending “-don.” This name can be a unique choice for parents looking for a name with historical significance and a touch of modern flair.
